UPN Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise'

This is the only Star Trek series that I actually gave up on mainly due to the weakness of the scripts. I've heard that they've trtied to do some fun things with Star Trek history, but I've also heard that the actual episodes have not been all that gripping. So I guess I'm not surprised that it has come to this.


UPN Cancels 'Star Trek: Enterprise'

Star Trek: Enterprise will come to an end following the airing of an
as yet untitled series finale on May the 13th, 2005.

UPN and Paramount today jointly announced the show's
cancellation. "Star Trek has been an important part of UPN's
history, and Enterprise has carried on the tradition of its
predecessors with great distinction," UPN Entertainment president
Dawn Ostroff said. "We'd like to thank Rick Berman, Brannon Braga
and an incredibly talented cast for creating an engaging, new
dimension to the Star Trek universe on UPN, and we look forward to
working with them, and our partners at Paramount Network Television,
on a send-off that salutes its contributions to The Network and
satisfies its loyal viewers."

Paramount Network Television president David Stapf added, "The
creators, stars and crew of Star Trek: Enterprise ambitiously and
proudly upheld the fine traditions of the Star Trek franchise. We
are grateful for their contributions to the legacy of Trek and
commend them on completing nearly 100 exciting, dramatic and
visually stunning episodes. All of us at Paramount warmly bid
goodbye to Enterprise, and we all look forward to a new chapter of
this enduring franchise in the future."

TrekToday sources report that CBS president Les Moonves himself
yesterday reached the decision to pull the plug on Enterprise. Most
Enterprise crew members only found out about their show's
cancellation this morning.

Enterprise only barely qualified for renewal a year ago, but was
given a final chance by UPN to prove itself after Paramount agreed
to drastically cut the show's license fee. The show underwent
several major changes this year, including a move from Wednesday
night to Friday and the appointment of new showrunner Manny Coto,
but the most important thing didn't change - the show's low ratings.
Last week, "Babel One" set a new series low for Enterprise,
attracting just over 2.5 million viewers.

No official details have yet been released for the final episode of
the series, beyond the fact it will be written by Enterprise
creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga. Recently, Paramount was
rumoured to be in negotiations with Jonathan Frakes (William T.
Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) for a guest appearance on the
final episode, although Sirtis has since denied this.

Although UPN has now officially decided to not bring back Enterprise
for a fifth season, two fan campaigns are still working to try and
change the network's mind. SaveEnterprise.com and the Enterprise
Project have combined to form EnterpriseFans.com, an organisation
trying to raise money to promote Enterprise with an ad in USA Today.
